The view of Ermelinda Correia´s vine. " For almost 100 years
people spoke of this vine but had no memory of the times in
which it was planted here," says Luis, 39 year old son of
Ermelinda.

"They are treated with sulfur and sulfate, nothing more. You
then wait until the grapes appear", says Ermelinda, the farmers wife,
with her calloused hands and burned skin from working under the sun.

Ermelinda, clinging to the trunk of one of the vines, says
again: "It is only over my dead body that i let anyone cut this."

At the time of Tetraview in the mid-nineteenth century, the house
had a fifth and probably more branches of vine. The fifth has
remained for almost a century, until Jose Correia, father of
Ermelinda, coming from Brazil, at the age of 14, extending the house
and walls around the vine which made it half disappear and spread to
the backyard.
